First post here. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Astron in this community, or even on r/Watches. I know those ones might not be everyone’s favourite, but I find some of them truly beautiful. It’s a dial to be savoured in three dimensions, where you can’t help but appreciate the magnificent work done by Seiko on the...
I agree about Kena, which I finished a couple months ago. I liked it, but IIRC I didn’t enjoy the parrying in particular, especially compared to Sekiro. Didn’t feel as polished.
These are photos from when I first took delivery of my Nakaya, an aka tamenuri (red urushi lacquer) Neo-Standard, from back in 2016. The nib was an SF with added flex cuts, and though it ran dry fairly quick, when it was primed it wrote in an almost brush-like manner. It was very unique, but difficult to use every day, which is...
I’m guessing you already searched FPN (Fountain Pen Network). Back when I used to be on Reddit, there was a u/willvintage from Redeem Pens that specializes in restoring vintage pens. You can search for his site and social media. He can probably give you guidance.
It’d been a minute since I bought a new pen, and I’ve always wanted to try a vacuum fill pen so I finally pulled the trigger. The pen writes so well straight out of the box but that’s always been my experience with TWSBI pens. The kon-peki ink is a nice beautiful blue that also seems to dry fairly quickly which is nice...
Kon-Peki is such a pretty blue. When I saw you wrote its name in Kanji, I asked myself excitedly if this person knows how to write. Then I saw the rest of your page :)
I had an 18 hour layover in Taiwan years ago, which encouraged me to learn Mandarin. Same boat as you, not enough to be anywhere close to fluent, but at least not a complete stranger to the language and culture. I find it fun to write.
As the title says. I’m looking for orange ink. Not too bright, not too muted, ideally tangerine 🍊 colour but a bit dirty - imagine a tangerine tree growing next to a busy road. Available in Europe.

A bit big on my 5.5" wrist, but oh well 🤷🏻♀️. BB54 just doesn’t hit right with me. Love the warmer tones of the BB58....
